Pepper Grinder, an upcoming 2D side scroller, teased players with more gameplay previews of the game ahead of its debut.
Publisher Devolver Digital recently dropped a brand new trailer for Pepper Grinder. Titled DRILLfomercial, it offered a glimpse into the game's fast-paced action and quirky humor. But its highlight was no other than its unique drilling mechanic.
"In a new gameplay video released today Pepper shows that she’s a seasoned pro when it comes to drill-spinning," Devolver said.
Running for one minute and 20 seconds, the trailer follows the protagonist Pepper utilizing her drill named the Grinder. From burrowing through the earth to helping her solve puzzles. There are also moments when Pepper uses the Grinder to access hidden pathways and launch herself mid-air.
Additionally, the video showed combat sequences. Pepper can be seen transforming the Grinder into a weapon that can pulverize enemies in her path.
While drilling takes center stage, the trailer also showed more of Pepper Grinder's traditional platforming and side-scrolling elements.
On the other hand, the video also dropped more hints about more content players can expect during its full launch. It teased the presence of a quirky cast of characters whom they will encounter on their treasure-hunting journey.
In addition, creators also hinted at the presence of boss battles, which in turn could add another layer of excitement to the mix.
Pepper Grinder is being developed by indie developer Ahr Ech. It is set to launch on March 28th, 2024 for PC and Nintendo Switch.
It tells the story of the pirate Pepper in her quest to reclaim her lost treasure. After being shipwrecked and robbed, she turns to her trusty sidearm to get back what was hers in the first place.
Meanwhile, the demo version of Pepper Grinder remained online on Steam as of March 7.
